RE: ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR PHASE 2, DESIGN & PLANNING FOR THE U.S.
19 CORRIDOR WAYFINDING AND SIGNAGE MASTER PLAN SERVICES
Dear Gina,
Thank you for the opportunity to expand our scope of work to the Phase 2 of the U.S. 19 Wayfinding
Program.
The U.S. 19 Wayfinding Master Plan lays the groundwork for a successful wayfinding program and
provides the framework for the various project elements that can be considered. Based on our meeting, I
have outlined a Scope of Work, Methodology and deliverables associated with the phase of work. These
tasks will provide you the documents to proceed to implementation of the items outlined, including
fabrication / installation of the signage program.
Based on our discussions and the work completed to date, we have developed the following Scope of
Work and Service Plan
SCOPE OF WORK
Project Area: The proposal is based on implementing a system within U.S. 19 Business District as outlined
in the Wayfinding Master Plan. The following sign types will be considered;
BASE PROJECT
• City Gateways (2 / Pedestrian Bridges)
• Vehicular Directional Signs
• District Identification / Landmark Pylons
• District Identification / Banners
• Pedestrian Directional
• Kiosks
• Orientation Map (for use on kiosk)
OPTIONAL PLACEMAKING ELEMENTS
• Crosswalk Designs
• Brighthouse Field Mural

SERVICE PLAN
For Phase 2 of the design and planning effort, will include 5 primary tasks for planning, design,
documentation and implementation of the project. This design process provides a basic structure for
advancing through the project and provides opportunities to address individual project issues that are
unique to Clearwater.
TASK 1: PROGRAMMING (Sign Locations & Message Schedule)
Prepare preliminary sign location plans, typical messages and general sign types. Only the Base Project
sign types shall be planned.
Site check locations, with City representatives, for appropriateness, available space, existing pole
conditions and general environment conditions. Note: this does not include detailed field mark -outs; it is a
general review only. (TRIP #1)
Removal of Existing Signs: During the field surveys, MERJE will record any existing signs that need to be
removed and replaced by new signs. This does not include an inventory of all existing wayfinding signs
throughout the City of Clearwater.
PRELIMINARY SUBMITTAL of a message schedule and sign location plans for review and approval by
client representatives and destinations. (Submittal #1).
SECONDARY SUBMITTAL, revise message schedule and sign location plan for review and approval by
client representatives and each destination. (Submittal #2). Client internal review only, no formal meetings
with stakeholders.
Submit revised Sign Location Plans to client representatives and other required agencies.
If necessary, review in the field all locations with City representatives and other required agencies. Note:
this does not include detailed field mark -outs, it is a general review only. (TRIP #2)
Programming deliverable: Based on working meetings and project reviews a sign location plan and
message schedule will be developed and submitted for final approval. This will include typical sign
locations, messages /terminology and required sign types.
TASK 2: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Based on field surveys, refine Wayfinding Master Plan design concepts as necessary and expand the
design across a full range of required sign types and scenarios.
Finalize functional aspects of program, size, materials, contrasts, nomenclature, typography, symbols,
hardware, architectural elements, placement, construction details, mounting methods and installation.
Submit "design development" drawings to fabricators for preliminary pricing and constructability reviews.
Value engineer design if necessary.
Receive preliminary cost estimates from fabricators.
Preliminary Orientation Map design for review and comment. (see below: Orientation / Map Scope of Work)
Present to Steering Committee and Stakeholders for review and approval. (TRIP #2)

mere
Additional Trip: This will be utilized as a opportunity for additional presentations to groups listed previously
or to other outside groups as necessary. It may also be used for additional site checking of specific field
conditions or requirements. (TRIP #3)
Design Development deliverable: Design Development package, which will provide general information
regarding material, color, finish, typography installation and sign size. This Task includes The following
formal presentations (1) Steering Committee (1) Stakeholders, and (1) Community. Presentations shall be
scheduled on same days or consecutive days.
TASK: 3 DOCUMENTATION STAGE
Complete Documentation Drawings for all Base Project sign types, including; final design, fabrication,
construction details and installation methods. (Bid Document)
Field Surveys of Base Project sign locations. This task includes visiting each sign location, and gathering
final placement information, including, photographing the location, preparing a simple site drawing (when
applicable) and noting any field conditions that need to be considered prior to or during installation. The
appropriate City of Clearwater, FDOT and Pinellas County staff are required to attend the field survey.
City, FDOT and County staff shall provide final approval on placement within their representative right -of-
way and assist with all additional coordination issues that may arise. Depending on the quantity of signs
and number of teams required to site check, typically (1 -2) representatives from each group should attend;
along with a member Wayfinding Committee or City Planning Department. Depending on the quantity of
sign locations that need to be checked, this usually takes 1 -2 days (TRIP #4)
Based on field surveys, prepare Final Sign Location Plans (final dimensions / individual site drawings and
photographs) as described in Task 1.
Prepare final cost estimate based on final design and sign counts.
Write Technical Specifications describing materials, products, submittals, coordination, execution, quality
assurance, installation, etc.
Documentation deliverable: The U.S. 19 Wayfinding Program Bid Document will provide the City with the
necessary drawings and specifications for bidding the project.
TASK 4: ORIENTATION MAP / BROCHURE DESIGN
The U.S. 19 District orientation map will be designed in layers, which will allow the City of Clearwater to
utilize it for many different purposes, including signs, print materials and multi- media.
Map Boundaries
Per the U.S. 19 Wayfinding Master Plan the district boundaries are as follows:
North: Curlew Rd.
South: Belleair Rd.

signage and kiosks.
Map Schematic Design: Develop preliminary orientation map graphics — draft submittal (50 %) to client for
general review and comments. This will be based on a limited area of the map and will include color,
typography, roadways and primary destinations. Design options will be presented and will be utilized to
establish the basis for design for the overall map. (Schematic Design Revisions: 3 Max)
Map Design Development: Based on client comments and approvals of the 50% map, an expanded full
version will be submitted as 75% and 90% completion progress, (Submittal #1 and #2).
Final Map Artwork: Receive comments and prepare FINAL MAP ARTWORK. This digital file will be
prepared for use on various design elements as outlined in the agreed scope and deliverables.
(Submittal #3).

to edit the map as required in the future. The following maps are included;

proposal will be developed to address a specific project requirement.
Additional Destinations / Sign Quantity

considered to the "front door" of the destination's building or campus.

Presentation of project to parties outside the core client group, that would require additional trips, such as
art commission, historic commission, planning board, etc.; preparation of additional presentation materials
for such meetings.
